FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Grant
FEMA / Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security (GOHSEP)
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Grant in its New Orleans, LA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
FEMA's FMA program provides grants to reduce or eliminate flood damage to NFIP-insured structures. Eligible projects include home elevation above base flood elevation, dry floodproofing, and demolition/rebuild. New Orleans homeowners with repetitively or severely flood-damaged homes are prioritized. Applications are submitted through local governments to GOHSEP, not directly to FEMA. ICC coverage (up to $30,000) may also be available through NFIP policies following substantial damage determinations.
Federal share is 75-100% of eligible project cost. Homeowners work with local government to apply. ICC coverage through NFIP provides separate $30,000 for compliance costs.
